STS 2.0 Lower Body 1

[jbliff]

Another great workout from Cathe. As usual for STS 2.0, there is a one-minute break between sets, and the reps vary between 8 and 10 using heavier weights, or 12-20 for lighter weights. The workout can be done without a barbell, but I used a barbell for the deadlifts as I don't have heavy enough dumbbells (Cathe uses 75 lbs). You do need a stability ball for the finisher, and wow, I couldn't believe how much quad lifts using a stability ball could hurt! My legs were shaking at the end of the workout but I definitely felt accomplished.

Thanks for the review!

Cathe does that quad lift in LIVE - It is surprising how you feel it!

I did that workout yesterday. That quad lift was killer. I don't know why, I started on my right leg and had no issues. For some reason, on my left leg it felt like the ball was very heavy and I could not complete the reps on that leg.

Yep, that’s where I was introduced to it, I have a 55cm ball, but I also have a 45cm one too, so depending on how I feel, sometimes I use the 45cm.

Yep, they're out there! I got mine from Power Systems, it does come in handy.....sometimes.....I also use
it sometimes with the Core Ball Exchange. I have a 65cm too, but I'm on the shorter side, so the 55cm
mostly works the best.

I have a 65cm and a 55cm. I like having 2 different sizes. BTW, how is your blending going with the new workouts? When they announced that they were loaded on demand, I thought of you, sitting in front of your computer, all night long putting together like 20 workouts or something. I cannot wait to get started with the blender.

LOL !. Yes, I am addicted to "blender-ing" for sure. I'm kinda under the weather, so haven't put together too
many, but the few I have done seem to be working fine. I've not seen any issues with the new workouts in
the blender part at all. I just want to feel like actually doing them! Have Fun !
